Just one year after the devastating wrath brought on by Hurricane Katrina, another storm, Tropical Storm Ernesto, is headed for Florida.

 

The devastation of last years hurricane is still felt today as remembrance ceremonies take place across the country. Perhaps one of the most important realizations that have come about is the need for improved preparedness during these emergencies.

 

This is also true as we edge closer to the fifth anniversary of the terror that struck the nation on 9/11. In both cases, the issue of preparedness, and especially for emergency communications in unplanned situations, is vital.

 

Along with the potential for disaster to strike again, businesses and families are being told that the best way to brace for these unplanned situations is to be prepared.
